another chapter!!
“Come on.” Havoc had his back to me.
“What?”
“Well we won’t know if that snake was poisonous or not unless we talk to Winry right?”
“No I mean what do you want me to do?”
“Piggy-back-ride.”
I looked at him funny. “Are you feeling okay?”
“Shut up! If that snake is poisonous then you don’t want to be running around! Now get on!”
I got on his back. He stood up and began to run. I rested my cheek on his back. I felt tired. Air rushed past my face as he ran. I held my neck and looked at my hand it was drenched in blood. I held it again I moaned in pain, “Don’t bleed to death back there. This is a new uniform.”
I hit him in the head, “Thanks for the concern.”
“Your welcome.”
We got to Winry’s house I jumped off. And ran inside I busted through the door. “Winry!”
“What is it Aki?”
I fell on my knees. “I was bitten by a snake.” I still held my neck.
“You have nothing to worry about Aki. 99% off the snakes here aren’t poisonous.”
I looked at her angry. “Can I at least have something to stop the bleeding?”
“Ya sure.”
Winry walked off and came back with a long cloth. “Here rap this around your wound.”
I took away my hand from my neck I began to twist it around the wound. I tied it in place. I stood up, “Thank you Winry.”
“Come on Havoc,” I pulled him along as I walked out the door.
“Coming.”
We reached the campsite again, I sighed. It’s to late to make another bed. “I’ll go get more wood for the fire.” I suggested. I wandered out into the forest again. Trying not to trip any more. I came back a few minutes later with logs the size of my head and as big as my arm. I threw a few into the fire.
Havoc’s stomach growled I looked at him. I smiled I jumped into the river. I swam around looking for small fish. I came up for air. I clapped my hands together and touched a finger it turned into a long knife. I dove again. My hair floated in the water. A large fish swam past my face. I smiled and stabbed it I came back up and showed Havoc.
I dove one more time to see if I could find another. One brushed up against my leg I turned over to look at it I went to jab at it and it escaped. I rose to catch my breath I transmuted my hand back to normal and dove again. I chased it in a mad pursuit. I grabbed it and got back out of the water. I tossed the fishes in the fire.
“Shouldn’t you take the scales off first?”
I looked at him; “Actually I find it easier to take the scales off after there cooked.”
I pondered to myself for a while. I got up and ran into the forest. I looked around for patches of wild mushrooms. I scavenged for about an hour till I found a patch of mushrooms that weren’t poisonous.
I returned with an arm full. “Here something other then fish.”
He looked at them suspiciously, “Are you sure they aren’t poisonous?”
“You don’t trust me?” I pretended to cry.
“No it’s not that!”
“I can’t believe you’d say that!”
“No what I meant to say was”
“I’ve only lived in the woods, fending for myself, for years!”
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!!”
He waved his hands frantically. “Fine I’ll eat one!” Havoc shoved one into his mouth.
He swallowed, “There bitter.”
“Well ya there mushrooms.
